    Recent advances in road construction and other geotechnical applications include various ground improvement techniques such as densification methods, stabilization methods, drainage systems, stone columns, granular piles, reinforced soil beds, and the use of geo-textiles. The document discusses technologies like dynamic compaction, vibro-floatation, granular columns, micro-piles, rapid impact compaction, and reinforced soil foundations. It also covers the use of geosynthetics like geotextiles, geogrids, geomembranes, geocomposites, and geocells in applications involving separation, filtration, drainage, reinforcement, protection, and containment.

    Geosynthetics

    Synthetic materials that are specially


    manufactured to be used in
    geotechnical and geo-environmental
    engineering applications.

    Geogrids

    These have an
    open grid-like
    appearance.They
    are stiff and
    strong.
    Geomembrane

    An impermeable,

    thickness of greater
    than 1.0 mm.
    Can be smooth or
    textured.
    GEO-COMPOSITES

    Strips are joined


    together to form
    interconnected cells
    that are filled with
    soil and sometimes
    concrete
    Geosynthetics are Howard Points
    engineering materials
    and they serve
    several functions
    Separation
    Filtration
    Drainage
    Reinforcement

    Overview of Functions
    and Applications
    Geosynthetics applications can
    be classified according to
    primary functions

    However, it is important to
    note that geosynthetics may
    also perform one or more
    secondary functions
    Filtration Function

    Geotextile acts similar to a sand


    filter by allowing water to flow
    through the soil while retaining
    upstream soil particles
    Drainage Function
    Geotextile acts as a drain to
    carry fluid flow through less
    permeable soils.

    Provide a lateral fluid


    transmission media.
    DRAINAGE

    Natural Soil

    IN-PLANE FLOW
    Natural Soil

    Drainage layer function:


    to provide adequate flow
    capacity.
    Prefabricated
    vertical wick
    drains have
    been used to
    accelerate
    consolidation of
    cohesive
    foundation soils
    below preloaded
    fills and
    embankments.
    Separation Function

    Geosynthetic acts to
    separate two layers of soil
    that have different
    particle size distributions.
    GEOSYNTHETICS

    FUNCTION:

    SEPARATION

    PROPERTY:

    OPENING SIZE
    Reinforcement Function

    Geosynthetics acts as a reinforcement


    element within a soil mass or in
    combination with the soil. This
    produces a composite that has
    improved strength and deformation
    properties over the un-reinforced
    soil.
